Holland Marty pseud. for Mary Holland
Fallen Angel
New York: E.P. Dutton & Company Inc. Very Good in Very Good dj. 1945. First Edition. Hardcover. lightly worn copy with some faint staining to the front cover short closed tear at bottom of title page; jacket edgeworn a few small tears some minor paper loss at both ends of spine all text on spine still present internally tape-repaired with modern tape at least at front foldover. Very scarce novel which served as the basis for one of the best of Otto Preminger's early films and a worthy follow-up to his classic LAURA. The first of five novels by this author who apparently also dabbled in screenwriting without any notable success. The only other film credit I've been able to uncover for her was a story credit for the 1950 noir THE FILE ON THELMA JORDON. Interestingly the front jacket flap bears a boxed notice to "WATCH FOR THE MOVIE" indicating that the book was "snapped up hot off the typewriter by Twentieth Century-Fox." Dana Andrews was already announced as the star of the forthcoming film version in late September 1944 about seven months before the book hit the shelves with the finished film finally going into release in December. Andrews' co-stars were Linda Darnell sexy girl and Alice Faye nice girl the latter making a sort of "comeback" as well as a change of pace in a non-musical role after being absent from the screen for nearly two years. Ironically however it ended up being Faye's swan song as a major star after she got into a dispute with studio head Darryl Zanuck over his decision to cut down her role in the picture in favor of Darnell's. .

Observations on the Small Pox: or An Essay to discover a more Effectual Method of Cure
4 p.l. xix 164 pp. 8vo cont. mottled calf by John Brindley single gilt fillet round sides the four corners of each cover elaborately gilt with Brindley's characteristic dolphins surmounted by crowns within circular wreaths spine divided into six compartments five of which with the golden fleece device in gilt green morocco lettering piece in remaining compartment. London: J. Brindley 1728. First edition; an extraordinary "illuminated" copy with the title-page initials and section headings all heightened in gold and bound by John Brindley bookbinder to Frederick Prince of Wales and Queen Caroline. The initials along with the vignettes and typographical ornaments at the beginning and end of each chapter have also been skillfully decorated in blue red and yellow. This remarkable book with all the decorations contemporary comes from the library at Marble Hill House the Palladian villa constructed 1724-29 at Twickenham which was built by Henrietta Howard ca. 1688-1767 countess of Suffolk and mistress of George II. Pope helped design the gardens and he Gay and George Berkeley were frequent visitors. Henrietta Howard was an intimate of Queen Caroline who encouraged the countess in her sexual relationship with King George II. The present book is dedicated to Queen Caroline and clearly there is some connection because of its special illuminations and binding between the Queen and Henrietta Howard. Could this have been the Queen's copy or one specially prepared for her close and useful friend This book was printed by William Bowyer and his records show that 350 ordinary copies and 150 large-paper copies were printed. Richard Holland 1688-1730 was born in London and educated at St. Catharine's College Cambridge where he received his M.D. in 1723. He became a fellow of the College of Physicians in 1725 and was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1726. This is his only book which provides many case histories. A fine and special copy. With a contemporary inscription on the leaf facing the title "Removed from Marble Hill House." Later engraved bookplate of M. General Sir Charles Stewart. This copy was sold Sotheby's 20 July 1959 part of lot 749. ❧ ODNB for Holland and Howard. unknown books

Dan’s Best Enemy: Another Year at School with the Hero of “Reardon Rah!â€
New York: Benziger Brothers 1924. Octavo green illustrated cloth hardcover 224 pp. Good with edgewear that includes fraying to edges of spine penny sized chip to spine. Photographs gladly provided upon request. From story: Saturday afternoon at three o’clock on September the fifteenth is very likely to be hot in the City of Washington. More likely to be hot than cool too if you are a boy of fifteen years old and have not had your hair cut for over a month and are now sitting in the barber-chair actually going through the agony. Sometimes the clippers pull; the barber pushes your head this way and pokes it that way; hair gets down your back; a fly lights on the end of your nose and with your hands under the cloth how can you knock him off Of course you cannot -- he has to stay there as long as he wants because if you wiggle your head the barber will growl at you to keep still! Yes; it is just wonderful fun to have your hair cut when the thermometer registers around eighty-five degrees in the shade! If you do not believe it just ask Dan Reardon of Botolph High Washington D. C. as he sits there sweltering on this September fifteenth at three o’clock Saturday afternoon. But take the consequences if you ask him that’s all! No Dan Reardon was in no humor to have anybody begin teasing him at that moment you may be sure! Benziger Brothers, 1924. hardcover books

Holland Samuel
THE PROVINCES OF NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY; WITH PART OF PENSILVANIA sic AND THE PROVINCE OF QUEBEC. DRAWN BY MAJOR HOLLAND SURVEYOR GENERAL OF THE NORTHERN DISTRICT IN AMERICA. CORRECTED AND IMPROVED FROM THE ORIGINAL MATERIALS BY GOVERN.R POWNALL MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT 1776
London: Printed for Robt. Sayer and John Bennett August 17 1776. Engraved map consisting of eight folio sheets backed on linen 54 1/2 x 21 3/4 inches with contemporary color outlining and shading of some boundaries and geographic features. Slightly soiled occasional minor stains a few old repairs no loss of text. In a brown cloth slipcase. A very good copy. This famous map is one of the best for the provinces of New York and New Jersey during the colonial period. It is the fourth state described by McCorkle following versions published circa 1768 in 1775 and earlier in 1776. "The map includes western Connecticut and Massachusetts and most of Vermont. In 1775 the title became 'The Provinces of New York and New Jersey; with part of Pensilvania and the Province of Quebec'.Three insets were added in this state: A chart of the mouth of the Hudson River; A plan of the City of New York; Plan of Amboy.The following year the date changed to 1776. Later in the same year the title was extended to include 'Corrected and improved from the original materials by Govern.r Pownall' and Holland's rank was given as Major" - McCorkle. The present copy is the final version described by McCorkle. <br> <br> THE PROVINCES OF NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY is in effect a large-scale map of the Hudson River and its tributaries including the Mohawk and settlement in New York is almost entirely confined to the banks of the Hudson and Mohawk rivers. The unexplored Adirondack County is left almost entirely blank with a lengthy notation that begins "Beaver Hunting Country of the Confederated Indians." Pennsylvania extends north into western New York state almost as far as the Mohawk Vermont is shown attached to New York with each existing township identified and the map extends north into Quebec beyond Montreal. Interesting notations on the country are scattered across the face of the map. For instance in Pennsylvania an area with little detail is simply noted as "endless mountains." The map is beautifully decorated with a pastoral title cartouche suggestive of the Hudson Palisades in the lower right corner. <br> <br> The map was created by Samuel Holland Surveyor General for the Northern District of North America. As a result of the French and Indian War 1755-63 Great Britain had acquired a new American Empire for which there were few adequate maps. Two new offices of surveyor general for the American colonies were established in 1763-64. The colonies were divided at the Potomac River into a northern and southern district and the respective surveyors appointed were Samuel Holland and Gerard De Brahm. Holland conceived of a general survey of North America east of the Mississippi to be based upon geodetic principles on a scale of one inch to one mile but work was interrupted in 1775 by the outbreak of the American Revolution. <br> <br> A very good copy of Holland's large and important map which includes western New England and portions of Quebec. DEGREES OF LATITUDE fig. 21. PHILLIPS ATLASES 1166 number 17. McCORKLE 768.3 775.6 776.13. Printed for Robt. Sayer and John Bennett, August 17 hardcover books

London: Longman Green Longman and Roberts 1862. First Edition. Cloth. Near Fine. First Edition. 6 iii-v 1-blank 1-contents 1-errata 1-499 1-ads pages. 8vo. Plain brown cloth simple clean rebinding with gilt spine titles. A few penciled notations on endpapers. Very light occasional foxing. Touch of wear and bumped corners. A nice copy. Cloth. "The Essays collected in this volume were written in great part during journeys or voyages which I have been accustomed to make in the autumn of every year. The greater number of the Essays thus composed will be seen to have relation to the progress and actual state of the physical sciences.
